In Part 2 of our interview with B.o.B aka Bobby Ray, the rock star in the making reveals some of the collaborators on his debut album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray (April 27), shares the advice his mentor T.I. gave him, and rocks out with Tip for a new song called “Fifth Dimension.”

He also gives us an update on his Grand Hustle boss, who hit the studio as soon as he was released to a halfway house. “He has something to prove now,” B.o.B. tells Rap-Up TV. “I feel like he has a deeper fire to his whole approach. He’s got more motivation. He’s a motivated person in general, but I feel like he’s got a lot more now.”
